PLATE LXXXVI.
Three Draughts of Obelisques, more ornamental than the former: They keep the same Proportion with them, only that upon the left hand has four times the thickness of the Obelisque at bottom to the height of its Pedestal, because of the Ornaments upon it. The top-part may be made in the manner here drawn, or with other Ornaments at discretion. The Antients never placed their Obelisque upon moulded Bases; But Dominico Fontana and others have placed them upon Bases, which, in my opinion, is a great addition to their beauty; however, that may be done or not at pleasure.
PLATE LXXXVII.
Three Designs for Columns, proper for publick Places or private Gardens; viz. a plain Dorick Column upon its Pedestal with a Vase a-top, a fluted column properly adorned, and a Rustick frosted Column, with a Figure a-top, as I have made them for several Gentlemen. The Proportions of them are mark'd upon an upright Line, divided into so many Diameters of the Column for the Height.
PLATE LXXXVIII.
Six Draughts of Peers for Gates, and three Designs of Iron-work betwixt them.
PLATE LXXXIX.
Two other Designs of Peers, with Iron-work.
PLATE XC.
Two Designs for Peers and Iron-work for large Courts.
PLATE XCI.
Three Draughts of Chimney-pieces, with Ornaments over them for Pictures, done for several Gentelmen.
PLATE XCII.
Three Designs of Chimneys done for Mess. Clark and Young at Rowhampton.
